886. Majestic Makuaku (Frigate Birds)

‘Makuaku’ (Frigate birds) are seabirds also known as ‘Man of War’ or Pirate birds. They have long wings, deeply forked tails and hooked bills. Male Makuakus are pitch black, except for their bright red throat pouch, that swells up in October to signal mating (season)… Female Makuakus are far more subdued with their feathered white breasts, resembling a tuxedo.

Yvette loves to unwind at Saint Joris Bay and spend quality time with her family; they particularly enjoy taking their boat out to visit the majestic Makuakus who live out on the Isla di Makuaku…
